Examples
-
I hadn't taken any lantus for about 36 hrs before training and hadn't eaten much as I was scared to let my BG's get to far up.
-
From what I have gathered, lantus is just a newer, more stable form of nph (which I have heard called the devil's insulin), and it works on an acid/base reaction to release the insulin slowly, and due to this can sometimes lead to erratic bg's.
-
You may find that once you have compaired the lantus pattern with your BG testing that moving the injection time will take care of the problem.
-
I'm on a pump and my insulin is fast acting but I was on lantus prior to the pump.
-
You will have to compare the lantus dosage 24 hour path with the BG time period you tested.
-
This will suggest basal (lantus) changes for that 5 hour period.
-
I suggest you take your lantus earlier in the evening.
-
I recently added Novalog to my regimine. (lantus & glucophage) I was hospitalized for high sugars, over 400 for a week and ever since my vision has been blurry.
-
Remember your lantus has a cross over period when the new dose is climbing in your system and the old dose is dropping.
-
Check to see how much of your daily total insulin dose should come from the lantus (basal).
